In tomato, the ovules are arranged on the central axis of a multi-loculed ovary. This placentation is:
AMarginal placentation (in pea, single locule)
BParietal placentation (mustard, on inner wall)
CAxile placentation (tomato, multi-loculed)
DBasal placentation (sunflower, single ovule)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Axile placentation (tomato, multi-loculed)
In tomato, the ovary is divided into multiple LOCULES by septa, and ovules attach to the central axis. This is AXILE placentation. Marginal (pea) has single locule; parietal (mustard) on wall; basal (sunflower) single ovule at base.
